Mort's blog: "Mouth Decay"

this cannot happen. how can this be?
this doesn't happen. Not to people like me!
How could I lose it? When did it end?
Can I start over..can I try this...again?
it didnt come with instructions, or a little note
not on the net or even a how-to to quote.
Do I work too much? maybe work more.
Tell me how to tend this wound... this open sore.
maybe I'm broken with no hope for a cure.
then why do I stay here what the catch? whats the lure?
Oh God push either way off the the cliff or to soft ground
Anythings better than gagged and bound
tossed in the dark with a blindfold of hope
or denial, just a way to cope.
Either way I am tired, my reservses are gone
but God knows this, He provides strength..will give me my song
"So get up Damn You! Youll never understand
That as long as I have your hand
You will be stronger. You will prevail!"
Cause it's not about me, I just tell the tale
of a weak man who pushed on to give reason
to the next one who goes through this season.
I am well with that.
